A couple years back Dynatrace was hiring a thousand developers worldwide for improving their product.
The OSX-team, who developed an entire operating system including utilities, famously consisted of 100 developers.
What is wrong with the industry? Is it scrum and pull based development? How was it before ticketing systems? Did bosses just assign tasks to their employees?

I've worked at a ton of startups and very few are adept at avoiding needless archictecture astronaut type stuff. And it's very hard to change the ship's direction after the engineering team have convinced themselves it's all appropriate and necessary to have 100 microservices for their 5-man team and 10k users.
